<sigh> Ok, I'll rebase the branch again to fix the paperwork errors.

For future reference, if I want to continue accepting pull requests from
other XFS developers, what are the applicable standards for adding the
tree maintainer's (aka my) S-o-B tags?  I can't add my own S-o-Bs after
the fact without rewriting the branch history and changing the commit
ids (which would lose the signed tag), so I guess that means the person
sending the pull request has to add my S-o-B for me?  Which also doesn't
make sense?
